Unmanned Aviation: Challenges for Growth The UASSG Annual Conference this year provides a timely  focus on the successes already accomplished in getting to a European Remotely Piloted Aircraft system (RPAS) Roadmap covering all 27 member states, developed by the European  RPAS Steering Group.  Importantly where European Union  leads, many other nations follow, either directly or guided by its successes and failures. Following a full stop in the development of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in America over two years ago, the European Roadmap for UAS growth is set fair.  However, with a  timeframe stretching out to 2028 there is much that has to  happen still for the European UAS industry to emerge into a  more secure and sustainable future. The United Kingdom continues to play a significant part in the shaping of the context within which the UAS market is growing.  With significant experience gained by the Royal Air Force and  the Army in their operations, the civil UAS market is being supported by more and more personnel with greater and  greater expertise.  Added to this is the increase in capability,  a considerable drop in price and a regulatory regime backed  by cost effective implementation routes that has fuelled a  revolution in unmanned aircraft with a mass of less than 20kg. The conference covers all these aspects plus much more and provides all stakeholders with a significantly different, more in  depth and in tune view of where the industry is going.  The need  to ensure that the public are well informed and appreciative of  the enormous benefits that will accrue from the use of  UAS/RPAS technology in the civilian marketplace is also now becoming and essential ingredient to the industry’s success.
